Does 285/70/17 fit at factory spare location

Can anyone confirm if a 285-70-17 fits on factory spare wheel in the factory spare location under the trunk?

 

This shop I’m going to tomorrow says it won’t. Yours did on stock spare wheel?

 

It absolutely does. I stuffed a 33x12.50r17 MT under mine. That shop doesn't know what they are talking about.

 

YAY !!!!!.. .another shop, that speaks, with out actually knowing facts.....

jerk offs...

 

Kind of sad right? I’m going to ask them to mount a 285-70-17 on the spare and stick it under the car.

 

@cmbronc76

What all do you have done in order to fit those tires? I assume, at lease BMC and lift, but what else?

 

Not at all. I have a mount to put my spare on top of my Baja Rack and after a fit check...my rig wouldn't fit it my parking garage. It measured 7'7"s or so. Being i used a tape measure and being by myself, I wasn't 100% accurate. So until i can afford a rear bumper with a carrier, this is my only option. Better to have the full size spare than not.

 

If I was you, I'd go else where to get the rubber mounted on the rim, and in the spare location, THEN drive back to the original shop, and show em.... just cuz I'm a dink like that...

 

No BMC, fender mod or wheel spacers. Just Bilsteins 6112's, 1/2 inch spacer, Dobby 329's in the back with 5160's in the rear and SPC UCA's. I have 4 inches in the front and 4.5 inches in the rear. Only a little rubbing in full lockreversing to the right. BMC will be done eventually because my next tires are going to 305/70r17's

 

Nice! I was at a little over 4" in the front at one point, but I got scared of damaging the CVJ's at a all too regular interval. I'm at 3.5 right now in the front. I am going to do the BMC when I can get around to doing it, and cutting the front bumper and liner more doesn't scare me. I may give them a shot. Also, what is your caster set at?

 

Nice. I have to get in my glove box and find my alignment. I know the reason I went with the SPC over Total Chaos, JBA, Icon UCA's is not because they are better because we all know that's not true. I wanted more adjust-ability because the caster and camber. I am pretty sure I'm around 3.0 to 3.5. After first having a stupid 3"and 2" RevTech lift and having to get an alignment every year, The UCA's were the best purchase I have made. Just have to grease them every 5K. Have my own gun...5 mins of my time. I would rather have your set up but damn child support is killing me for a few more year lol.

 

I'm just here to spam this, to say that looks righteous as shit dude. Black, evil,.. and dope as hell dude. Damn that is a wicked looking rig hoss... well done.

 

Thanks a lot! Put a lot of thought into it. I am not the guy that just can throw all kinds of money at will. Planning, budgeting and saving. Not too bad for a non premium SR5 4wd.

 

I did mine the same way, slowly bought each piece of the puzzle and did everything myself... Love your build man. Looks sharp!

 

Looks great!

 

I went up to 34”s and installed an SSO slimline and stage2

 

Love the build - I just ordered the Slimline and will be doing a 2.5" lift and moving up to 285/70/17 BFG AT K02s and will do the Stage 2 mod if I rub on the front liners. If I went to 34's I wouldn't fit in my garage - concerned that I might not with the 285s so will get the lift, bumper and winch on first - my current 265 BFGs need to be replaced next year

 

Most garage opening are 7ft. You will be fine with 285’s I would think. I fit all the way into my parking garage(which is 7ft at the lowest) when I had a 3”2” on 33x12.50’s. Thank you for you kind comments. Getting the sliders welded up and put on today! Been waiting for 6months with the kit in my storage. Pics to come later!

 

Do you mind me asking what ladder you went with? Looked at a few and they all seem too boxy, I like the shape that you have!

 

It’s from Baja Rack

 

Hi All,
Old thread but I have same issue and would like advice please...
I have wildpeak rt 01 285/75r17 mounted my Dobinsons lifted suspension 4R.
According to online charts, this tire mounted inflated dia size is 34.1"
I want to utilize the existing underside spare space, and would like to have the same (or similar size) tire mounted to the OE steel rim.
Note: The current spare is the OE setup on steel rim, I believe 265.

So question is will this same tire fit?
Inflated or not? I do have onboard air so could keep it non-inflated.

Thanks for advice!

 

The shop that did my lift said it wouldn't fit either because of my KDSS. I told them to try anyway and they called back all surprised and said it was the first one they'd gotten to fit.

It was tight, and appeared it was taking some rubbing. I finally got a hitch mounted spare carrier because I didn't like it under there. But yeah, it should fit

Edit: haha, didn't realize I was responding to a 6 year old zombie thread revived from the dead

 

@FN2187 sorry to post on an old thread... I did not see a more recent thread with the subject. If you know of a newer thread, please send link and I will post there. Thanks!

 

“Measure once, cut once, hammer to fit! “ No way. Measure with micrometer, mark with grease pencil, cut with axe!!!

 

One problem I had with an over size spare was my OEM trailer ball tube would not go far enough into the receiver to get the pin in. Was hitting the spare. Had to take about 1/4” off the end of the ball tube.

 

This is now a newer thread...

 

I’ve got a 285-70R17 on a stock steel wheel under my limited, fits snug but fine. Car doesn’t fit in the garage though (should have measured before I bought the house…)
